In the digital age, the terms "indie developer" or "digital nomad" are increasingly common. They are explorers of the Internet world, using code as their wings to soar in the boundless digital ocean. But among this group, one name stands out – Pieter Levels. It is hard for us to imagine that a person can travel to more than 40 countries, open more than 40 personal companies, and release more than 70 products (as of November 21). This is simply the ideal life of every migrant worker. So how much money can he make in a month? This question must be of great interest to everyone. There is no money to talk about poetry and distant places.
This is a screenshot of his twitter in February 2024. The 4 products he recommended have already achieved a monthly income of US$200,000. Guys, how are you? Are you excited?
But in fact, in the entrepreneurial world, success is often the tip of the iceberg, while failure is the vast pedestal hidden beneath the water. The experience of Pieter Levels is a vivid reflection of this concept. Of his more than 70 projects, only 4 were commercially successful, meaning his success rate was only about 5%. This number, while depressing at first glance, is actually a true reflection of the entrepreneurial spirit.
The story of Levels tells us that failure is not the end, but the only path to success. Every failed project is an experiment in creativity, and every attempt accumulates valuable experience. In this process, the most important thing is not the number of failures, but the lessons learned from failures and the indomitable entrepreneurial spirit.
For indie developers, this success rate doesn’t mean there’s little hope; instead, it emphasizes the importance of continuing to try and iterate quickly. In today's world of rapid technological development, those entrepreneurs who can quickly recover from failure and move forward will ultimately have the opportunity to seize the opportunity for success. Levels’ experience is not only a testament to personal perseverance, but also an inspiration to all dream chasers: Don’t be afraid of failure, keep moving forward, and success will eventually come.
